My favorite is the ghost. His face makes me giggle and how did you not break his hands? I would have broken his little hands for sure. 
I also recommend not putting symbols in the file name, that can sometimes make it difficult to load the image for some people. |

Oh, my goodness! You shouldn't even consider giving up cookies! You did a great job! I would definitely try the recipes Honeydukes gave you. I use the NFSC recipe all the time and it holds it shape well. Keep it chilled though before you cut it out and rechill before baking to hold the shape even better.
I don't know if you want a royal icing recipe, but here is a great one a lot of us use:
http://forum.cakecentral.com/c.....Icing.html
The meringue powder she uses has vanilla in it, but the Wilton I use does not, so I add either 3/4 tsp clear vanilla (though I am going to try regular vanilla soon) or 3/4 tsp almond extract.
So, don't even think about hanging up that cookie sheet! You are off to a great start! |

I love the alien guy! Keep decorating those cookies, you're doing great, but be aware that it can be just as addiciting as cake decorating. Everywhere I look, I see something and think, "Hey, that would make a cool cookie!" There just isn't enough time in the day to try it all out. |

Those are cute cookies!
I use the NFSC recipe and it's really simple and doesn't take a lot of time to mix it together...and the taste, well...they are delicious! Try them out. I also ad a dash of cinnamon to mine for an extra "kick". Everyone loves them. |

Ditto on the cinnamon! It adds a nice flavor. I also increase the vanilla extract to 3 tsp., but that is just me. |
